This stone is getting a 5 on the HCA, when a 2 or below is considered desirable. You might be able to do better if you are looking for a well-cut stone.

Swingirl''s right. Those measurements imply a pavilion/crown combo of 41.4/35.5. If performance is important to you this isn''t the one. It''s predicted at AGS4-5 - notable under-table leakage - and faces up about 5% smaller than it should for the weight.

thanks for the imput guys, i''ll keep looking for the right stone. I''m sure i''ll be posting pretty soon again!!

it seems like good old gold is a popular choice to buy loose diamonds from. any other suggestions? my vendor seems to be not making great picks so far! looking for a .80-.85rb for a good price, i don''t mind it being a SI1 either.

0.85ct I SI1

0.815ct G VS2

A few for you to compare. What sort of budget do you have?

my setting is $1900 so preferbly $6000-under for the rock and setting together. is this an unreasonable request? im also in vancouver so in canadian dollar amount
